Winter Vacation Days 2007-2008 II

Off to Chihuly @ Phipps Conservatory. I will drop off Kelly and Unka Sahnee, then go to retrieve my custom shoes at the cobbler shop (Cinderfella), retrieve my photos, and gas up the blue car.

We then met William, Marissa, and Beatrice for games and fun. Kelly's friend, Sara, was retrieved from the train station and joined us all for brunch on Sunday.

On Sunday, Dad, Mom, and Unka Sahnee attended noon Mass, where I was a nouvelle soprano. The choir sang:
Angels we Have Heard on High
Psalm 128 (Chepponis)
Christmastime Alleluia (Chepponis)
Gaudete
God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen

Then, Unka Sahnee and I went to the Andy Warhol museum, where there were exhibits by Bruce Nauman, Georgia O'Keefe, and Ron Mueck. We took pics in the green room at the Nauman exhibit; and enjoyed the Mueck sculptures, wondering how he made the hair grow so long.

We then went to see the presepio (another belen!) and trees at the Carnegie Hall of Architecture; during which time Dad and Mom drove Kelly and Sara to Morgantown for the New Year....to spend it in Elkins to ring in the year. After a short nap and dinner, we headed to William and Marissa's for a snack of pizza, and veggies and crisped pitas with dip, then a game of Carcasonne. Beatrice outlasted her Lolo in the playin'-in-the-living room. All had fun, and we hugged Unka Sahnee goodbye since he was having an early morning departure (during which I called Dad's cell phone to wish him safe voyages and a hello to our cousins on the West Coast).
